Summary

In-tree binutils are effectively obsolete, and we intend to migrate to LLD or to ports binutils for all architectures.

As a trial set BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP as BROKEN_OPTIONS on powerpc64 for testing. Buildworld and buildkernel should "just work" as long as the powerpc64-binutils port is installed.

Note that this will be raised on the mailing lists and proposed as an FCP if necessary - I'm posting this so others can test.

Kicked off a test build and seems to be working correctly. Next step would be to test with WITH_CLANG/WITH_CLANG_IS_CC.

I'm only building, I'm not testing anything currently.

Thanks. It will be great if you can test this with GCC-4.2.1 and external binutils at some point,

At this point BINUTILS is enabled only on i386 and amd64, BINUTILS_BOOTSTRAP only on amd64.
